Introduction to Sourdough Workshop

*Please note future workshop dates are currently on hold. If you’re interested in coming along to a future session, please drop me a note hello@beckybakes.co.uk and I will keep you informed of next available dates*

Join me in my micro bakery in Eastbourne and learn how to make your own sourdough bread from scratch. Together we’ll learn the basics of making your own gut friendly, naturally leavened bread using only organic flour, water and salt. 

During the session we will look at how to build and maintain a healthy starter, mix, handle and shape dough and also bake a variety of loaves, using both a commercial bread oven and a domestic one, equipping you with the tools to bake with confidence in your own kitchens. We’ll be looking at the fundamentals of what makes a great loaf, how to adapt the process to fit your own schedule, as well as looking at different flours and inclusions and recipes to use leftover starter, making sure you head off with plenty of ideas to bake your favourite loaves at home.  

We’ll also have lunch together, teas, coffees and homemade snacks on arrival and plenty of time to ask questions and troubleshoot. This course is designed for beginners, but also suitable for those of you with a basic understanding of sourdough baking who are looking to deepen their knowledge.  

At the end of the session you’ll go home with a minimum of 2 loaves we’ve baked together on the day, as well as your proving dough ready to shape and bake at home. Also included is a banneton and dough scraper kit, a pot of starter and instruction/recipe booklet. 

You will need to bring the following with you:

A large mixing bowl

A small jar or container for your starter

A bag large enough for your take away goodies

Timings: 10am to 2.30pm approx.
